Regarding the group shopping list, do keep in mind JB has to comply to customs claim limits upon reentry, unless they are shipped by Hunter Pearls.

Good point, Cathy. We shouldn't burden her with the logistics, but certainly she can help Justin share some photos of "possibilities" and he can take over from there.

 

[juliebeth]

So, when't the big trip?

Anxious to see more pics of Justin's beauties.

 

[juliebeth]

well, big trip postponed for now due to Hurricane Winston back in Feb. They're still rebuilding! http://westhawaiitoday.com/news/loc...-fiji-rebuild-library-after-hurricane-winston

 

[GemGeek]

Gratification delayed, etc. When you do get to go you are going to have a blast!

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Yes, it will be all the sweeter later on. I'm glad to read that the rebuilding is progressing.

Knowing what we are still going through after Superstorm Sandy, I can imagine it will take them some time to recover...and recover really isn't the correct word...it's more like reconfigure, recreate, and remember...then move on...otherwise known as resiliency.
